Chapter 25 Little cabbage, yellow in the field.

Mrs. Fang watched her daughter leave and asked, "What did you do? How did our daughter suddenly get promoted?"

The others were also curious. Their sister had only been attending court for a few days, yet she had been promoted from princess to official rank. Was the court really that simple now?

If Minister Fang knew what they were thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes at them. If promotion were so easy, he wouldn't have remained in the position of Minister of Revenue for ten years without any change.

Minister Fang gave a brief account of what had happened.

Fang Lingxing asked in silence, "What if we can't find it then?"

Fang Lingxing's question silenced everyone.

Madam Fang placed a chicken leg on her son's plate and said, "This is not something we should worry about, is it? Chu'er just asked your father to look for it. His Majesty wants to see it himself. If they can't find it, that's their own problem. What does it have to do with my daughter?"

Minister Fang laughed heartily, agreeing with his wife's statement. He then said to his son, "Anyway, things have already come to this. We might as well accept it. Chu'er's miracles are a double-edged sword for our family, but for now, the blessings outweigh the drawbacks."

Fang Lingming picked up where his father left off, saying, "Yes, brother, Mingming even helped you see your fiancée clearly."

Madam Fang sensed something amiss in the conversation and asked, "What's going on? What do you mean by 'recognizing Xing'er's fiancée'?"

Fang Lingming first recounted what they had done yesterday.

Madam Fang looked at her eldest son and asked, "Why didn't you tell your mother about such a big thing?"

Fang Lingxing said dismissively, "Anyway, it's not settled yet. I've already had someone refuse, so there's no need to trouble Mother."

Madam Fang disagreed, saying, "After something like this happened, you should tell your mother no matter what. Your mother will definitely go to Madam Honglu to demand an explanation."

Seeing her mother's angry expression, Fang Lingxing had no choice but to agree.

Fang Lingming continued, "Mother, if you still want to arrange marriages for us in the future, please let my younger sister take a look."

Madam Fang understood this principle; she hadn't even had a chance to show it to her daughter before the accident happened.

Minister Fang quickly stepped forward to speak to his wife: "There are so many things to do in this household, and your mother is managing them all by herself. How can she possibly keep up? If you two had found a girl you liked earlier, you could have married her yourself. Would you still need your mother to help you find a match?"

Mrs. Fang agreed, and then adopted a mixed approach of pressuring her to get married.

Even Zhang Gang, who was eating with them, was almost dragged into it.

Upon hearing that Zhang Gang already had a fiancée, Fang's mother became even angrier.

Watching this happy family, Zhang Gang felt envious and wondered if he and Xiao Lan could be like that in the future.

Meanwhile, Fang Lingchu was making barbecue and drinking homemade milk tea in her small kitchen, complaining about her father and the emperor with the system.

The guards in the tree were drenched in sweat, wondering whether they should hand over what they had overheard.

[Guagua, tell me yourself, isn't His Majesty ungrateful? I used ten years of my lifespan to save him, how could he let me be his slave? Waaah!]

The thought of having to draw every day from now on made Fang Lingchu feel like the sky was falling.

The system comforted him, saying, "Just treat it as practice and a hobby."

Fang Lingchu cried even harder. When a hobby becomes a job, it's no longer a hobby.

The system felt that the more it tried to comfort the host, the harder the host cried.

Let's just quietly enjoy the delicious food.

Fang Lingchu drank some wine and then...

When Fang Lingyan arrived at her sister's courtyard, this is what she saw.

Fang Lingyan hugged the bare peach tree in her yard and cried loudly, saying that she didn't want to go to work and that she only wanted her brother to support her, or if that wasn't possible, her sister could support her too.

The system was still playing background music: 【Little cabbage, yellow in the field, little Lingchu, nobody likes her, dad doesn't love her, mom doesn't care for her…】

Fang Lingyan had the maid pull her younger sister down. When Fang Lingchu saw her older sister, she immediately hugged her, her snot and tears covering Fang Lingyan.

Fang Lingyan, disgusted, had someone pull Fang Lingchu away.

Fang Lingchu cried even louder when she saw her sister's disdain for her.

"Sister, now even you dislike me, waaaaah, it seems no one in the family likes me."

When Fang's parents arrived, they saw Fang Lingchu pinning his older sister down and constantly asking her if she liked him—he was acting like a complete scoundrel.

Madam Fang sent someone to separate the two of them, and Fang Lingchu started screaming, clinging even tighter like an octopus as she screamed, "No one can separate me and my sister, no one can! Help! Someone is forcibly taking a woman from me! It's indecent assault!"

At first, the system happily played with Fang Lingchu. After seeing Lord Fang, it kept calling out to Fang Lingchu, but unfortunately, the man ignored it.

Minister Fang shouted angrily, "Fang Lingchu, let go of Yan'er!"

Fang Lingyan started rolling her eyes because her younger sister was hugging her so tightly.

Upon hearing her father's voice, Fang Lingchu immediately stood up.

Fang Lingyan finally got to breathe; she had just felt herself see her grandparents.

The maid escorted Fang Lingyan back to her own courtyard, and at the same time, Fang Lingxing and Fang Lingming rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

Looking at the bottles and jars on the ground, Fang Lingming asked, "Who gave Miss some wine?"

Others may not know, but Fang Lingming knows that his younger sister goes crazy when she drinks, and when she does, she can't distinguish between humans and animals.

Strawberry said with a slight headache, "Miss didn't drink alcohol; she drank homemade milk tea."

Fang's parents exchanged a glance and immediately understood.

Fang Lingchu not only cannot abstain from alcohol, but she also gets drunk on milk.

Mrs. Fang said, "Strawberry, go and prepare some cold water for Miss. She can just wash up."

Strawberry said helplessly, "Miss doesn't allow us to touch her. If we touch her, Miss will..."

Just as Fang Lingming was about to go over and help her to bed, Fang Lingchu yelled, "Help! There's a ghost! A male ghost is molesting a beautiful woman!"

Fang Lingming...

Everyone...

After shouting, Fang Lingchu squatted down in front of the peach tree and said, "Father, why did you hurt me? I am your most beloved daughter! You go to work every day, which is bad enough, but why do you make me go too? Father, say something! Tell me!"

Fang Lingchu called out "Dad" to the peach tree.

Minister Fang rubbed his forehead, looking exasperated, and said, "Raspberry, go knock your young lady unconscious and take her away."

Minister Fang really wants to beat the child, but his status prevents him from doing so. It's infuriating!

I can't watch this girl even for a day, I'll ask her for leave tomorrow.

Fang Lingchu was knocked unconscious and taken away.

Madam Fang asked her maid to tidy up Fang Lingchu's courtyard.

They also confiscated all the wine and milk in her yard.

When the emperor heard that Fang Lingchu couldn't drink alcohol and was drunk, and that he was acting crazy and mistook a tree for Minister Fang, he was shocked.

Emperor Chongde's laughter filled the palace.

I was so angry with the Grand Tutors today, but this news has instantly cured me.
